Chapter 216: Starving People
Finally almost there!
After crossing the mountain, they saw the road.
"Is it too dangerous to take the road?" One person suddenly asked.
"What danger can there be? There are not many zombies now. And under such strong ultraviolet rays, the zombies move very slowly and there is no threat at all."
There are more than a hundred people in this group.
They walked a long way, and everyone was almost exhausted.
Almost everyone was carrying a backpack.
There were adults and children.
There were no elderly people.
Because the elderly could not keep up with their pace at all, they had been abandoned voluntarily or ruthlessly.
As for the children, they were the hope of the future, the apple of their father's eye, and naturally they would not be abandoned.
But, their eyes were filled with fear and a trace of despair for the uncertain future.
Just now, someone fell down.
No one helped him, and no one helped him.
At this time, they saw the small town not far ahead, which looked very clean.
There should be people living there, right?
Even if no one lives there, at least they can get some supplies, right?
"We are not far from the Dongguan Military Region."
They looked in the direction of the Dongguan Military Region.
It would only take a few days to walk from here.
Maybe they are lucky enough to get some supplies in the small town ahead?
There must be food, right?
There must be water, right?
There must be cars, right?
There must be gasoline, right?
No matter what, they are in urgent need of it now.
"Let's go to that town to rest."
People came down the mountain one after another.
On the way, their car broke down and they encountered a dead land.
The so-called "dead land" is a place contaminated by a large number of zombies.
They dare not pass through the dead land rashly.
So they can only walk in the mountains.
The mountains are not peaceful either, there are wild beasts.
Luckily, they have many people and five or six guns, so they can stick to here.
"This town is so small."
After entering the town, they began to search everywhere.
But, nothing!
There is nothing!
Whether it was food, gasoline, or cars, there was nothing!
"Why? Why don't they have these things?!"
Someone shouted in despair.
There was not even a water purifier!
"Did they get looted? Or did they have time to pack up slowly when they left?"
No one could tell why.
There was a well.
But they didn't dare to drink.
"I... I don't have any water. Who will lend me some?" A man held an empty kettle in his hand, with despair on his face.
No one looked at him.
Some people were checking their own water.
There was not much left.
There were still several days of travel, and they had to keep it.
"Is there no one to help me?" The man looked at the others in despair.
"Everyone has a quota of water, who told you to drink so fast?" One person retorted.
The man's face fell.
It was just a little more.
But he really couldn't help it!
At this time, the people around him retreated a few steps back.
The men with guns also stared at him closely.
The most basic order is needed.
If that person dares to rob, they dare to shoot.
This is a rule that has been established long ago.
Everyone must abide by it.
No one has immunity, and everyone is equal.
It's just to survive.
The man turned to everyone for help.
But no one was willing to help him.
"Okay, then I'll go to the well to drink water!"
He was almost going crazy with thirst.
Anyway, there were still several days of journey, and it was impossible for him to walk.
Rather than dying of thirst, it's better to drink enough first.
A man with a gun said coldly: "Then you will be exiled by us."
The man was about to cry, "Don't abandon me, okay?"
No one answered him.
They just looked at him indifferently.
He gritted his teeth and abandoned it, at least it was better than dying of thirst!
He rushed to the well, drew water with a bucket and drank it.
It quenched his thirst!
He drank frantically.
Water kept flowing from the corners of his mouth.
Everyone kept retreating.
"Let's go. We can't stay here for long. We must find drinkable water." Someone suggested.
Then everyone left in silence.
Continue to walk in the direction they have identified.
The man who drank water watched the people go away. He simply filled the kettle with water and hung it behind them.
Step by step.
The gun went off.
Just one shot.
But it was very accurate.
It hit the man's forehead directly.
People have long been accustomed to this scene.
Because if you drink undrinkable water rashly, you will mutate.
First you will go crazy and bite people like a mad dog, then you will die and finally become a zombie.
Now because of the strong ultraviolet rays, even if you become a zombie, it will not pose much threat.
They have long been numb.
Those adults will only help their own children, even if they are married.
"We may meet someone."
A man suddenly shouted loudly, "Look at the wheel tracks on the ground. It seems that a car passed by here not long ago."
One person asked, "Can you tell which direction the car is going?"
"It doesn't matter whether it is from Dongguan Military Region or going to Dongguan Military Region. Because this shows that this road is open and maybe we can meet a car!"
Damn, there is not even a cart in that town. It is simply a situation that has never been seen before.
Too weird.
In the end of the world, everyone just wants to escape. Who packs so carefully?
After leaving the town, everyone walked slowly.
Then, someone pointed in a direction and shouted in surprise: "There is smoke!"
People looked in the direction he pointed, and they saw a puff of smoke rising.
That was cooking smoke!
"There is someone over there!"
The more than 100 people were excited.
Their steps were lighter.
It seemed that the power had returned to them.
After turning a corner, they finally saw a manor not far ahead.
What a high courtyard wall!
The smoke was coming up from behind the courtyard wall.
This is simply a steel fortress!
The manor is very large, and the walls seem to be made of steel, which is extremely strong.
"No wonder we can survive here... Is this the fortress of the Dongguan Military Region? Have we reached the jurisdiction of the Dongguan Military Region?"
Everyone's speed is getting faster and faster.
They ran towards the manor frantically.
They ran out of breath.
Then they saw the closed thick iron door.
Climb over the wall?
It's impossible.
Because the courtyard wall is too high.
Then knock on the door.
"Open the door! Open the door quickly!"
They knocked on the door hard.
But no one inside responded.
"Open the door quickly! We just want to ask for some water..."
Still no one answered.
